A new, Yale-led study suggests the 21st century will see an expansion of hurricanes and typhoons into mid-latitude regions, which include major cities such as New York, Boston, Beijing, and Tokyo.
Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the study’s...
Their legs may get more attention, but a new study says a crab’s eyes have much to offer, too — at least scientifically.
Writing in the journal iScience, paleontologists from Yale and Harvard have discovered new, unusually large optical features from a 95...
Two Yale faculty members, Donald Engelman and Debra Fischer, have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world’s largest general scientific society.
Engelman is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Molecular...
Two Yale faculty members, economist Mira Frick and chemist Sarah Slavoff, have been awarded prestigious Sloan Research Fellowships.
The two-year, $75,000 fellowships are awarded in eight scientific and technical fields: computer science, neuroscience,...
Researchers at Yale and Caltech have a bold new theory to explain how Earth transformed itself from a fiery, carbon-clouded ball of rocks into a planet capable of sustaining life.
The theory covers Earth’s earliest years and involves “weird” rocks that...
Michel Devoret, the F.W. Beinecke Professor of Applied Physics and Physics, is a co-recipient of the Micius Quantum Prize for his groundbreaking work in quantum physics — including key contributions in the development of the artificial atoms of quantum...
Continents reconfigure, oceans shift, and ice sheets thicken and thaw, but for the past 95 million years Earth’s engine for distributing ocean heat has remained remarkably consistent.
That’s one of the findings of a new, Yale-led study that tracks the...
Researchers at Yale and the American Museum of Natural History have identified the earliest known relative of octopuses and vampire squid — and named it after the 46th president of the United States.
Syllipsimopodi bideni had 10 arms, fins, and rows of...
A new, Yale-led study unlocks the science behind a key ingredient — namely oxygen — in some of the world’s most violent volcanoes.
The research offers a new model for understanding the oxidation state of arc magmas, the lavas that form some volcanoes,...
The Dragonfly telescope is undergoing a metamorphosis.
For the past decade, the Dragonfly Telephoto Array — designed by Yale’s Pieter van Dokkum and the University of Toronto’s Roberto Abraham and located in New Mexico — has conducted groundbreaking...
